Rescue The Animals (RTA)/SPCA in Abilene responded to a call of animal abuse near Gorman, Texas. SPCA Investigator Mindi Qualls says "it's the worst case ever of animal abuse that I have ever come upon." Mindi told me that, what she found was a nightmare and it made her physically ill. After I viewed the photos and the videos, I too was sickened and became emotional as I wondered "who would do this to an animal?" I will warn you now, this contains graphic images.

Here's your chance to get the entire family involved in the 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk to benefit Rescue the Animals, SPCA of Abilene. The event actually includes a one mile course for humans and their four-legged companions too. This all takes place at the Dog Park by the Abilene Zoo at Nelson Park.

Omar von Muller is one of the most successful, most respected animal trainers in America. Can you believe that his dog Jumpy the Border Collie mix, famous for his roles in the TV show NCIS was once rescued from an animal shelter. Jumpy is considered legendary in the motion picture and television industry, however I believe Jumpy and Omar are better known because of their awesome YouTube videos. Omar has several other dogs too, but I'm a huge fan of Jumpy and Omar, check their video.

The Abilene Animal Shelter, Rescue the Animals SPCA, the North Shore Animal League and a few Humane societies and animal shelters from around the big country are teaming up for a "Big Country Spring Adoption".

I will be living in the my custom made dog house at the corner of Catclaw and Southwest Drive.

As I volunteer with Abilene's Rescue the Animals, they share stories with me that make me angry and want to cry at the same time, this is one of those stories. A story about a pup that was found on the side of a busy road. A passerby named Jolene saw something and decided to stop and investigate. Jolene found an injured puppy she named Daisy. Jolene takes Daisy to a veterinarian to see if the puppy could be helped. She was told that Daisy's back was broken and that she might never walk again. Watch as Daisy's incredible story unfolds. Caution this video may move you.

Samson is an 8 year old Springer Spaniel mix with the sweetest personality ever. His big brown eyes seem to say, "I need a place to stay, a place to call home." Don't let his age discourage you either, because Samson is ready to run and play or just chill and hang out, which ever you prefer. Samson was turned in by his owner, who can no longer care for him. Because Samson is a turn in, he does not have long to live. Please help us find a home for our "KEAN Critter" of the week. See him at the Abilene Animal Control Shelter in cage W-27.
